Properties

Protected _customFields

_customFields: MapType<any>

A mapper representing custom fields in an entity. Custom fields are represented by their field names and the corresponding values. A custom field can be added or updated using setCustomField method.

Protected _versionIdentifier

_versionIdentifier: string

The current ETag version of the entity in the remote system. The ETag identified the version of the in the remote system. It will be automatically set in the "if-match" header of update requests and can be set as a custom header for delete requests. When no ETag is provided by the remote system the value of this variable defaults to "*".

Protected remoteState

remoteState: object

The remote state of the entity. Remote state refers to the last known state of the entity on the remote system from which it has been retrieved or to which it has been posted. It is stored as map, where the keys are stored in the format of VDM properties.

Type declaration

  • [keys: string]: any

Static _allFields

_allFields: Array<Selectable<Entity>>

Static _defaultServicePath

_defaultServicePath: string

Static _entityName

_entityName: string

Static _serviceName

_serviceName: string

Accessors

versionIdentifier

  • get versionIdentifier(): string
  • ETag version identifier accessor.

    Returns string

    The ETag version identifier of the retrieved entity, returns undefined if not retrieved

Methods

Protected getCurrentMapKeys

  • Returns a map of all defined fields in entity to their current values.

    Returns Entity

    Entity with all defined entity fields

getCustomField

  • getCustomField(fieldName: string): any
  • Custom field value getter.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The name of the custom field

    Returns any

    The value of the corresponding custom field

getCustomFields

  • getCustomFields(): MapType<any>
  • Returns a map that contains all entity custom fields.

    Returns MapType<any>

    A map of all defined custom fields in the entity

getUpdatedCustomFields

  • getUpdatedCustomFields(): MapType<any>
  • Returns all updated custom field properties compared to the last known remote state.

    Returns MapType<any>

    A map containing all updated custom properties, with their new values

getUpdatedProperties

  • getUpdatedProperties(): Entity
  • Returns all changed properties compared to the last known remote state. The returned properties does not include custom fields. Use getUpdatedCustomFields, if updated custom fields are needed.

    Returns Entity

    Entity with all properties that changed

hasCustomField

  • hasCustomField(fieldName: string): boolean
  • Validates whether a custom field exists in the entity.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The name of the custom field to update

    Returns boolean

    A boolean value, that indicates whether a custom field is defined in entity

initializeCustomFields

  • initializeCustomFields(customFields: MapType<any>): this
  • Sets all retrieved custom fields in entity.

    Parameters

    • customFields: MapType<any>

      Extracted custom fields from a retrieved entity

    Returns this

    A boolean value, that indicates the existence of the field in entity

Protected isConflictingCustomField

  • isConflictingCustomField(customFieldName: string): boolean
  • Validates whether a field name does not conflict with an original field name and thus can be defined as custom fields.

    Parameters

    • customFieldName: string

      Field name to check

    Returns boolean

    Boolean value that describes whether a field name can be defined as custom field

setCustomField

  • setCustomField(fieldName: string, value: any): this
  • Sets a new custom field in the entity or updates it. Throws an error, if the provided custom field name is already defined by an original field in entity.

    Parameters

    • fieldName: string

      The name of the custom field to update

    • value: any

      The value of the field

    Returns this

    The entity itself, to facilitate method chaining

setOrInitializeRemoteState

  • setOrInitializeRemoteState(state?: MapType<any>): this
  • Initializes or sets the remoteState of the entity. This function is called on all read, create and update requests. This function should be called after initializeCustomFields, if custom fields are defined.

    Parameters

    • Default value state: MapType<any> = null

      State to be set as remote state

    Returns this

    The entity itself, to facilitate method chaining

setVersionIdentifier

  • setVersionIdentifier(etag: string): this
  • Set the ETag version identifier of the retrieved entity.

    Parameters

    • etag: string

      The returned ETag version of the entity

    Returns this

    The entity itself, to facilitate method chaining

  • Type parameters

    Parameters

    • entityConstructor: Constructable<EntityT>

    Returns EntityBuilderType<EntityT, JsonT>
